    Question Nav/display screen won't turn off

    wondering if anyone else has run into this. turn the car off, shut the door. car goes to sleep properly. except the nav screen stays on. if the trunk is open, the LED on the nav computer stays on. (yes, this is after ive waited 16 mins and the car goes to sleep)

    ive replaced both the nav computer and the GMIII. still the same behavior. obviously this kills the battery in pretty short order.

    if i unplug the nav computer, everythign is as normal as can be expected without it - no screen display, radio stays on for ~2 mins then shuts off.

    what am i not thinking of? other suggestions?

    note this is the stock 4:3 screen - all stock.

    As all other functions are working, the display may be at fault. I have a 4.3 (replaced it with a 16.9) that works (has a red vertical line in the display) that you are welcome to
    as a trial display to verify.
    PM me if you like.

    appreciate the idea & offer. i'll try disconnecting the display and see if the computer can turn itself off that way.
